The circulation on this one makes this review unnecessary. The people of Albertville enjoy the comforting rhymed poetry of Helen Steiner Rice. The library owns a total of 10 poetry books by her, including a volume of Christmas poems, and they all get similar circulation. Definitely keep these books on the shelves as long as they make people happy, which I suspect will be a long time to come. This particular book is a product of the Helen Steiner Rice Foundation, Rice having died in 1981. Proceeds from the purchase go to benefit that foundation.

Unable to teach full time, I had just begun my second MDE class, and I accepted an internship in a museum setting. As a regular classroom teacher and librarian, I knew the benefit of field trips for ou […]

There is so much new technology out there that I'll have enough material to write about for a long time. I'l start off with a thank you to Jane Hart at C4LPT. She has put together a slide presentation listing the top 100 technologies for 2010, and for previous years. This is a good place to check out what is popular and even if you don't pl […]
